I definitely hope we can have a more organic hunting experience going forward. That would be superb. A great one mission but also be really cool, I truly hope they make great ones. Achievable to casual players, lake grinding has become very boring. Tiresome
I don't think grinding is ever going to go away. The way the game is structured now, it practically encourages it. I think a mission system Great One would be a good start to trying to bring back some balance.
the beauty with cotw is u can hunt any which way u like. if u want a more organic hunting experience, u can do that right now. u don't have to grind lakes. the great one is supposed to be "rare" so of course casual players will rarely see one. that's why they're great ones. if they became more easy to get that would defeat the whole purpose. stop worrying about grinding and just play the game
@dagg310 I think because "casual gameplay" is not as viral as grinding people feel inundated with the message that the Great One (and grinding for them) is the primary experience provided by this game. I like to encourage to support channels that focus more an casual play if they'd like to see the messaging change.
@@FalxHunter i agree. people are so focused on great ones. and i wish more channels would do organic hunts. i don't really need to watch someone grind for their 200th white tail great one on rev anymore ...lol. i don't really watch cotw streamers anymore because of that. all they do is grind rev, medved, srp...boring! casual players need to realize cotw is a hunting game, not a great one game ...lol. just hunt and have fun...it's a game !
releasing 2 great ones would explain the longer delay in releasing this map since so far they've only done one great one at a time. other than that, i don't really see why this map took so long. there isn't really anything revolutionary with this map. we had the different biomes with australia so for now i'm not seeing what took so long. any ideas?
That *could* be part of it. I do see quite a bit more detail in the animal models and structural elements in the landscape. I think the unique Mechanics of the tiger and how it's supposed to stalk you is also something that took a lot of additional programming to ensure it works well in the game.
@@FalxHunter true. seeing that the tiger would be more "intelligent" if it actually stalked u, maybe they worked on all the animal intelligence in general. would be nice if jaxy addressed the exact reasons why this one took so long.
The tar looks like a goat hopefully it is not a class 3 cause the guns seem not to do while against class 3 and we have a few weapons to choose from that are effective of dropping the animal fast

@dagg310 watch me! I am a hybrid player who grinds *occasionally*, but I definitely prefer an organic hunt! 😁
Did u c what dd said about the tigers
I heard that he didn't think tigers would be in the game due to them being a protected species, but I haven't watched his video yet.
@@FalxHunterhe also called out other creators for making content on tigers… only say that bears were coming on the new map.
@liamsstudio_44 well, everyone makes mistakes. I could be wrong about my wild boar GO theory! :D
@@FalxHunter I whole heartedly agree.
Great video! I'm super exited to explore this reserve. I do not believe the new great one is Tahr.
I think there’s something more to it... never before has an announcement about a Great One been so lackluster. I think there may be two coming!
Sorry, would watch this would watch this video but I’m gonna wait till the live stream because I always like a little surprise like that
That's fine! That's why it's clearly marked "spoilers!" 😁

@@dagg310 I am sure he will in the upcoming live streams. I anticipate there being at least three or four more before we get the actual map.
Just wanted to comment on the editing on the video, most of the vids ive seen so far have felt rushed compared!
That's very kind of you, thank you! Lots of hours... 😅

It will end up being like a moose grind all over again!
